Composer : Noriyuki Iwadare （岩垂則行)

Iwadare was born in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. He began to compose video game music after years of being involved with university bands. The first award he won the Best Game Music award, the Mega Drive/Genesis category for Lunar: The Silver Star in 1991. He also won the Best Game Music award in the Sega Saturn Music category for Grandia in 1997 and in the Dreamcast category for Grandia 2 in 2000. Iwadare first composed music for Tokyo Disney Resort, in addition to Japanese dance programs, television programs, and radio programs. He dreams to have orchestral arrangements of his musical works, while he himself has done several times, as with the Gyakuten Meets Orchestra arrangements (orchestral arrangements of the Ace Attorney series music).

After their two first solo albums together, Ensemble and Ensemble II, Noriyuki Iwadare (Grandia, Lunar, Phoenix Wright) and the violonist Reiko Tsuchiya are back with Ensemble III, an acoustic album with many music from all over the world, an invitation to dream and travel!
